Explosion at Manhattan Bus Terminal

At the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan, and explosion has been reported. It is not yet known whether there are fatalities or injuries, but several lines have been closed down and the area has been cordoned off.

The NYPD released a short statement saying “The NYPD is responding to reports of an explosion of unknown origin at 42nd Street and 8th Ave, Manhattan.”

But what does this mean and what will the outcome be?

One thing that the leftist media will accuse everyone (who is not themselves) of is of jumping to conclusions. And while they are guilty of this themselves, they are not actually wrong. This may well be a terrorist attack, but of course, it might not be. By jumping on a bandwagon, we only give the left fuel for the fire to belittle us and accuse us of things that are not true.

If this is a terror attack, we need the president to be focused on dealing with this and making sure that the media does not try and turn this into a left-right divide. The leftist media are desperately scraping social media for examples of non-leftists calling this a terror attack before the facts are known. And they do this, so if it turns out that it is an Islamist attack, they can take the attention away from the act and put it onto the “racist right.”
